Art from the Wilds- Sacred Grove
Eco-Mythic Works
Welcome to the Sacred Grove. This is a space where I invite you to explore some of the deep, reciprocal dialogues that I have (and continue to hold) with nature, materials, spirit and ritual. Think of this as a living gallery- a place where each work reflects an intimate conversation with the world around us. I invite you here to pause, reflect and connect with something beyond the physical.
Are you curious about creating relationally with the world around you?

Conversations with Nature & Materials
Exploring materials, processes and the more-than-human world. Natural materials have always inspired me in artmaking. These works emerged from moments of presence, both with materials and with myself. Each piece holds something personal for me. These artworks were not created with an outcome in mind, but rather in conversation with the world around me- sometimes deep and sometimes playful!

Conversations with Spirit
This section steps into perhaps the more intangible, where the art-making process has served as a channel for the ‘unknown’ to become something more tangible and ‘known’ - bringing ‘spirit’ into tangible form. I find this often opens up new insights. These pieces reflect a few of the dialogues that I have had with the spirit world over the years - shifting energies and symbols that transcend the material and move into the realm of the sacred.

Ritual & Ceremony
A collection of visual images, where creativity is expressed through ritual and ceremony- becoming a sacred act. Here, these pieces speak to honouring cycles, honouring others, as well as small sacred moments. As you ponder these images I invite you into the heart of my practice, where everything around us can be honoured and celebrated through our creative gestures.
